Article A322-143 of the French Sports Code

The operator must draw up a plan showing the location chosen, the dates of use and a sketch showing the position of the launchers, the direction of firing, the access roads, the protection provided and the area reserved for the public.

This plan is sent to the departmental prefect two weeks before the establishment opens and after each modification.

If no obstacle acts as a protective screen, a minimum distance of two hundred and fifty metres in the normal direction of fire must separate any physical or sporting activity establishment where shooting with hunting weapons is practised from neighbouring roads and dwellings.

Article A322-143

L’exploitant réalise un plan comportant la désignation de l’emplacement retenu, les dates d’utilisation et un croquis indiquant la situation des appareils de lancement, l’orientation des tirs, les voies d’accès, les protections prévues et l’emplacement réservé au public.

Ce plan est transmis au préfet de département quinze jours avant l’ouverture de l’établissement ainsi qu’après chaque modification.

Si aucun obstacle ne fait office d’écran protecteur, une distance minimale de deux cent cinquante mètres dans la direction normale du tir doit séparer des routes et habitations riveraines tout établissement d’activités physiques ou sportives où sont pratiquées des activités de tir aux armes de chasse.
